In an entertaining game with both sides having chances the Lowland league side came out on top in this pre season warm up game . All though 0-0 at half time it was a good match with both sides creating good chances but both defences matching and thwarting any .The goals all came in the second half with Gordon Donaldson putting the visitors up 1-0 after 50 minutes The home side then scored three through Lee Currie, Jamie Docherty and George Hunter .Cammie Ross pulled one back with five minutes remaining .A good work out after a long lay off and a lot of positives to be taken from the game as we prepare for a season that is going to be unpredictable in every way .A full report will be on the matches website asap .
